The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shot and killed a Palestinian teenager in the occupied West Bank. This came shortly after an Israeli army official confirmed that the IOF had opened fire during a raid on Nablus.

Sultan Abdul Rahman Khatatbeh, 16, was killed by Israeli gunfire in the northern West Bank town of Beit Furik, according to a statement the ministry posted on Facebook.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that two other Palestinians were injured when IOF raided the town, east of Nablus, and fired live bullets at Palestinians.

An Israeli military official said as quoted by AFP that troops were operating in the Nablus area when "dozens of suspects hurled rocks at Israeli security forces, who responded with riot dispersal means and live fire."

"Hits were identified," the official added, without providing further details.
